Who we are.



As the only surfer run surf shop in Vancouver, the talk matches the walk. Located in the Mecca of skateboarding and snowboarding, we pride ourselves on remaining a part of the independent movement and offer a full range of new and used equipment. We carry the best product from the best brands and can back this up with true knowledge and experience specific to the Pacific Northwest.

Second Wave is a lifestyle, not a job, but let the staff prove that to you. We’re eager to share the inside scoop (well, not entirely) and can show you firsthand how to stay warm on the hill or in the water. See something you like? Make us an offer. Our priority is you on the best equipment out there so if that means matching or beating a price, we’re up for it. Located 2 blocks up from the Seabus at Lonsdale Quay, we’re as local as it gets. Give us a call: (604) 986-9283

We have the Brands


We have the brands that matter, and as active Canadians we do our best to support the Canadian brands we believe in. But don’t worry; we still carry the big guys from down south as well.

Brands like Sitka (CAN), Sombrio (CAN), Voleurz (CAN), Lifetime (CAN), Native (CAN), Sandbox (CAN), Landyachtz (CAN), Electric, Burton, Rome, Salomon, Ipath, Adidas, Vans, Roxy, Quiksilver, Volcom, Dakine, Nixon, FCS, Xcel, DAV, Sanuk, and more.

And if you need something ordered because it’s too hard to find, drop us an email and we’ll try to order it in for you. Relax, we’ve got you covered!

We have the Deals


In an interesting time where cash can be strapped, we know you have many options to get your gear for cheap.  Even with our full range of new product, we’re still searching out deals to buy product at discount, offering you a cost effective alternative if times are tight. We’ll always have 2 tees for $30, and a $40 hoodie rack, but don’t be scared to grab a wicked button down from Sitka and hit the town if it’s been a good month! For hardgoods, we keep the top quality name brands always on sale.

Save your money for the mountains! Looking good up there is one thing, but everyone knows the best accessory is an ear to ear grin after an epic shred.  So save yourself a buck and we’ll meet you at Dusty’s, we can settle up on the patio.

Come and get the best prices on the hottest gear!!
